D
It was just a simple thing
C
She could play and he could sing
D
And when he offered her a ring
Am D
She offered him a smile
D
And with nothing to their name
Em
But a melody to play
Am G
They sang the cold away
C D
And somehow, all the while
C G
They’re making something out of nothing
Em D C
When the winter nights were long
G Em
Come what may
Am G
They found a way
C D G
Somewhere in a song
D
And the tunes that they performed
C
Gave them shelter from the storm
D
And the waltzes kept them warm
Am D
When the drums were all but dry
D
And the harmonies grew strong
Em
When the children came along
Am G
And somehow in a song
C D
a Family Survived
C G
They’re making something out of nothing
Em D C
When the winter nights were long
G Em
Come what may
Am G
They found a way
C D G
Somewhere in a song
F Bb C F
When they finally laid their heads
Dm Bb
They made a ballad for a bed
C F
And it held them ‘til the dawn
Bb C F
For with notes and words alone
Dm Bb
They made a Heartbeat of a Home
C F
And it goes on and on and on
C G
They’re making something out of nothing
Em D C
When the winter nights were long
G Em
Come what may
Am G
They found a way
C D G
Somewhere in a song
